Key Points for Selecting Drip Bag/Filter Coffee

When choosing drip bag coffee, do you often find yourself unconsciously reaching for products on special offer? In fact, if you carefully read the content indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging, you'll discover that each drip coffee has its own unique flavor characteristics. If you've never tried drip coffee before and want to further experience its deliciousness, please refer to the key selection points we've compiled for you below.

Is the Brewing Method "Immersion Style" or "Pour-Over Style"?

The brewing method for drip bag coffee is extremely simple, and the flavor is much more varied than instant coffee. You don't need to go to a coffee shop—you can directly brew your favorite coffee at home, which has made it increasingly popular in recent years.

Everyone can easily brew delicious coffee using drip bag coffee, but due to different brewing methods, it's divided into two types: "immersion style" and "pour-over style," which will result in different flavor profiles. The "immersion style" allows coffee grounds to soak in hot water. Because the contact time between coffee grounds and hot water is extended, it usually yields a coffee with a richer mouthfeel. At this point, you need to pay attention to the immersion time to avoid over-extraction, which can make the coffee bitter. Additionally, immersion-style coffee tends to have more impurities.

In contrast, with the "pour-over style" method, when hot water passes through the coffee grounds, the brewed coffee liquid directly falls into the cup. The coffee taste has relatively fewer impurities and a cleaner mouthfeel.

For busy people, the "immersion style" of directly pouring in hot water is an excellent choice. As long as you don't soak for too long, the taste difference isn't significant. However, if you're accustomed to the "pour-over style," you can enjoy the pleasure of tasting coffee by bringing out different aromas through brewing. But for those unfamiliar with the "pour-over style," the brewing process might be somewhat challenging. If you're tasting drip coffee for the first time, we recommend choosing the "immersion style."

Additionally, each manufacturer's structural design for the drip bag will vary slightly. Some filter paper bags can easily hang on both sides of a cup with their side hooks, while other types have small space between the hook and filter bag, almost completely covering the cup mouth. If the filter bag's opening matches the cup mouth size perfectly, it can be placed more securely on the cup. Therefore, please purchase appropriate drip coffee based on the shape and size of the cups you normally use.

Is the Drip Bag Coffee Individually Packaged?

Freshly ground coffee powder most fears oxidation and moisture, which can cause the coffee to become stale or even spoiled, losing its original wonderful flavor. Therefore, in terms of packaging, we strongly recommend choosing products where each drip bag is individually sealed. To better preserve the coffee powder, some manufacturers also use "nitrogen-flushed packaging," which can slow down the oxidation process of the coffee powder and extend its flavor life.

However, individually packaged drip coffee may be more expensive due to increased packaging material costs. If you want to have a cup of coffee every day and save on coffee expenses, we recommend buying bulk-packaged products. However, without a good sealing environment, this can easily lead to gradual loss of coffee aroma or moisture absorption, so please remember to finish it within the expiration date. Therefore, based on your usual coffee drinking frequency and habits, if you need long-term storage, it's still better to purchase individually packaged coffee.
